1) The Torah teaches (12:3) that a baby boy should have a bris milah on the eighth day of his life. In what case would Jewish law require a male who is not yet eight days old to have a bris milah?
2) The Torah requires a woman who has given birth to bring a sheep as a korban olah and a dove as a korban chatos (12:6). If she is poor, both sacrifices shall be birds (12:8). If she has the means, why does the Torah prescribe that she bring a dove, which is the sacrifice of the poor, as a korban chatos and not another sheep?
3) The pasuk in this week’s parsha teaches: והצרוע אשר בו הנגע וכו' ועל שפם יטה – “One who has tzora’as etc. his mouth shall be covered”. The Ibn Ezra explains, that the metzorah would cover his mouth with a garment. What is the reason for this? The Ibn Ezra explains, “so that people won’t get harmed by his breath”. The Chizkuni also writes, “to block the bad breath that comes from his mouth, in order that other people won’t get harmed”. The question is, a metzorah is supposed to be, בדד ישב חוץ למחנה - “sit in isolation outside the camp”, he isn’t even allowed to be with other people who have tzora’as. If so, why does he need to cover his mouth, who is going to catch anything? There is no one else around? Even during Corona, when people were away from other people there was no need for a mask?
4) If someone gets tzora’as and he goes to a Kohen, and the Kohen paskens on the nega, does the Kohen make a berachah? If yes, does he make the berachah of shehechayanu as well?
